4 Summary of Proposed Tuition and Fee Plan: U. T. MEDICAL BRANCH GALVESTON Expected Use for Tuition Additional Revenue The tuition increase in the School of Medicine is needed to defray inflationary costs (3%) and to respond to students requests that the school address the specific initiatives described below. Nonresident tuition is raised an equal percentage as resident tuition, which results in a higher dollar increase for non-residents. The additional revenue will be used (1) to offset inflationary cost increases; (2) to support a faculty advising system; and (3) to support the costs of community-based education and the physicians who currently serve as voluntary clinical preceptors for students on community-based assignments. A fee increase is also requested to support the standardized patient program which provides clinical skills teaching, practice, direct observation and feedback to students. The additional funds in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences would be used to support bridging of enrolled students, student development activities and student academic conferences. These activities are currently supported by investigator funds and GSBS funds but limit the scope and frequency of these important activities. Additional revenue for the School of Health Professions will support faculty to supervise clinical settings, maintain distance education programs and instructional software, and recoup course costs. The proposed increase in tuition in the School of Nursing will be used to increase the number of fulltime faculty, and retain current full-time faculty. Additionally, the increased funding would support part-time and pay by letter (PBL) clinical faculty and necessary resources for teaching in the classroom, online and simulation. The mandate by the State and UTMB's President, to double enrollments has necessitated a dramatic increase in resources and for PBL faculty member to accommodate the education and clinical supervision of students.

UNIVERSITY STUDENT SERVICES FEE (SSF): The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) is submitting the original 5-Year Fee Plan for the proposed increases to the Student Services Fee that is Page 9

10 Summary of Proposed Tuition and Fee Plan: UT Health Science Center at Houston charged across the board to all students enrolled at UTHealth. The SSF covers five student support services, 1) Recreation, 2) Health, 3) Shuttle, 4) Counseling, and 5) Student Government. The following is being proposed to increase the SSF from the current annual cost of $ to $543.45, an approximate 2.025% overall increase to the fee: will have no increase to the existing fee proposed increases for two of the support areas covered by the fee. o Shuttle Services will have a 10% increase from $73.25/year to $80.60/year. Over 90% of ridership on UTHealth shuttles are students, but the current fee only covers 25% of the cost. Contract renewal in 2017 anticipates higher operational costs, plus with increased ridership there is planning to add a new bus. o Counseling Services will have a 10% increase from $34.45/year to $37.90/year. This fee covers approximately 33% of counseling costs. The fee increase will help sustain the model of providing a full time psychologist working only with students. The increase will also help support continued improvement by providing more outreach and workshops for increased anxiety and stress our students face today. UTHEALTH STUDENT ENGAGEMENT UTHealth, has six very diverse graduate and professional schools with program specific tuition rates and school specific incidental, course and laboratory fees, and allows each school to conduct their own Student Fees Advisory Council to review, comment and make recommendations to the Dean in regard to proposed tuition and fees. The Student InterCouncil, the official student governance organization made up of 24 student representatives from all schools, is presented with incidental fees that affect students in all six UTHealth schools. The Student Services Fee proposed increase was presented to this group for official review, comment and vote. UTHealth Schools and Auxiliary Enterprises (oversees the Student Services Fee) speak to specific student engagement during this process of tuition and fee increases for and 2017 in their individual reports attached to this summary.

12 Summary of Proposed Tuition and Fee Plan: U. T. Health Science Center San Antonio TUITION INCREASE JUSTIFICATION: The proposed increases for the School of Dentistry Graduate Endodontics and Dental Hygiene undergrad programs will be utilized to provide competitive compensation to the endodontic and dental hygiene faculty to ensure the recruitment and retention of those of the highest quality. The proposed increases for the School of Nursing will be used to address the costs of attracting and retaining qualified faculty. Additional revenue for the School of Health Professions will provide the ability to have sufficient funding to cover the costs of retaining quality faculty and to invest in equipment upgrades across several programs to continue to train students at the optimal level. The proposed increases for the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences are intended to support the increasing costs of graduate educational programs including enhanced learning tools and software to track student milestones aimed at improving student success. The proposed increase for the Medical Services fee would be directed toward addressing the expanded needs for health and wellness, and in particular, mental health and wellness for our students. If approved by the required student referendum, the proposed annual fee of $ in AY 2018 would still be well below what peer institutions charge in AY for their Medical Services Fee. ENGAGEMENT OF STUDENTS: Institutional leadership has routinely engaged and informed the Student Government Association regarding the 5-year tuition plans for all schools. In addition, administrative leadership in each school met with student leadership and held at least two forums open to the general study body where an appropriate representation of each school s student body was in attendance.

13 Summary of Proposed Tuition and Fee Plan: UTMDACC Summary of Proposed Tuition and Fee Plan: U. T. MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER Summary of Proposed Resident Tuition and Fee Increases * 2017 Health Professions Undergrad. (15 sch) $1,676 $1, % $243 $1, % $45 Graduate (15 sch) $1,676 $2,669 59% $993 $2, % $45 * Estimate reflects tuition, mandatory fees, laboratory fees and average course fees. It includes a proposed (new) Preceptor Course Fee of $35 per clinical preceptor course and the approximate increase in cost per semester is $200. Projected New Revenue Revenue for -17 Revenue for Health Professions (15 semester credit hours) $165,350 $13,500 How will the additional revenue be used? The proposed increases in designated tuition and fees for the School of Health Professions (SHP) reflect the need for resources to drive innovation in education at SHP while maintaining our high-touch, small-group hands-on teaching of the health professions. Current innovation investments are focused in part on simulation technology in the MD Anderson simulation lab that allow our students to learn in environments that closely resemble the clinical environment, but offer a risk-free opportunity for skill development. The additional funds realized from the Differential Tuition will be used to offset the increasing expenses associated with laboratory supply cost and equipment in the Genetics programs. All programs in health care education are expensive. However graduate programs are more costly then undergraduate programs in that they focus on more advanced aspects of the subject. The acquisition and maintenance of equipment is costly and with the rapid advances in healthcare ongoing investment is necessary. The materials for training students in the Genetics laboratories are also becoming more sophisticated (e.g. next gen sequencing, RNA sequencing), and this further increases costs. All of the SHP programs require clinical preceptorships as a requirement for degree completion. The increased funding from the Clinical Preceptor Course Fee will be used to defray the expenses incurred in managing the preceptorships. Hospital affiliates are requiring more supervision by our core faculty adding expense for faculty to travel to affiliate sites or in some cases the need to add adjunct or part-time faculty. Student approval of Tuition and Fee Increase On December 1,, at a Student Congress meeting, student representatives were informed that a proposal would be going forward to increase tuition and fees. The students had no objections at that time. A follow up conversation is planned in early at a future Student Congress meeting. Page 13
